“Stef has built strong relationships with our stakeholders - Northparkes enjoys a leading reputation both in NSW and nationally. She is currently considering other opportunities within CMOC.
“I thank Stef for her service, commitment and leadership of Northparkes. I also welcome Jim Fowler to Northparkes and know the business will be in good hands.”
Stef Loader, Managing Director, said, her five years at Northparkes have been the highlight of her career.
“I am proud of what we have achieved, particularly in respect to Zero Harm Operations which is our approach to everything we do,” Ms Loader said.
“My family and I have made our home here in the Central West and we look forward to continuing to be a part of this wonderful community.”
